Watford’s Brazilian forward Richardlison has only been in English football for 3 months but he is already being tracked by Spurs.
The 20-year old joined Watford from Fluminense in a £11.2 million deal in the summer, but has made an instant impact in the Premier League, scoring 4 goals in 11 appearances to date.
This has not gone unnoticed by Tottenham Hotspur who have regularly sent scouts to Vicarage Road to monitor the performances of the Brazilian under-20 international.
Although primarily a centre-forward, Richardlison is equally comfortable operating either on the left or right-wing, and, as a two-footed player is highly versatile, a quality that Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino will value as much as his goal scoring prowess.
If Richardlison were to join Spurs it would complete a rapid rise to fame for a player who came through the youth ranks at Atletico Mineiro before joining Fuminense for just one season before his move to England.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
